Joey Porter Sr.: Ben Roethlisberger is not a good teammate or good person

Our Summary

Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter Sr. has openly criticized his ex-teammate, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, labeling him as a "bad teammate" during an appearance on Cam Heyward’s podcast. Porter, who played with Roethlisberger for three years and won Super Bowl XL, expressed that Roethlisberger was not respected within the Steelers organization. He cited instances like the lack of a player vote for Roethlisberger as team captain, which he claims was due to his teammates' unwillingness to support him in that role. Heyward, a longtime teammate of Roethlisberger, did not contradict Porter's statements during the podcast.
